Hello Giant Robot FM patrons - a new type of Simulator episode is here! Instead of looking at just one or two games, we're examining the universe of Gunbuster gaming from a PC-98 quiz game to PC Engine digital comics to a PS2 game and beyond! Anime gaming experts TheIdeon and Rex join us for this episode to aim for the top!

The Big O II takes a turn towards focusing solely on its narrative, but not before making some important pit stops like the all-night diner and the apocalyptic beach! Logan aka Schmullus joins us to talk through this important set of episodes - including "Stripes" which was mistakenly played in place of the finale.
